To all whom/t 11mg/ concern: 4

Be it known that I, Louis SHMETZER, of Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements inClothes-Wringers, of which the following is a specificatiomrei'erencebeing had to the accompanying drawing.

My invention consists in the peculiar ar rangement of twoipairs of armshinged together, and havingthe `rolls mounted in them and pressedtogether by rubber bands stretched around the arms, as hereinafterdescribed.

.The drawih g represent-s a'- perspective of my wringer. y

,In constructing my wringer, I first-provide two like arms, A, havingthe U- shaped arms l a upon their lower sides, to t upon the tub orother receptacle, and noteheshin their upper sides to receive thejournals of the lowerV roll, and I connect these arms together, parallelwith each other by means of two rods, b, as shown. To the end of each ofthese arms A, I hingethe end of an independent arm, C, having a seriesof notches, e, in its upper side, and a notch in its lower side toreceive one of the journals of the upper roll. I then place between thearms A the lower roll, B, having j a crank, d, attached to one end,sothat its V` Specificationforming part of Letters Patent No. 105,375,dated July 12, 1870.

the pressure of the rolls upon one another may be regulated asnecessary.

' Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim is- Y A clothes-wringer consisting of.. the stationary armsor frame A A, with the arms C C hinged thereto, independently of eachother at their rear ends, and having mounted therein in l front of theirhinged ends, the rollers B and D, with elastics E about their free ends,the Whole constructed and arranged to operate substantially as hereindescribed.
